1941 Map of Pelican

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

De Soto and Sabine Parishes meet along a complex network of bayous and rails in this early 1940s survey. The landscape is defined by the parallel paths of the Kansas City Southern Railway and the Texas and Pacific Railroad, which anchor several small timber and agricultural communities. Notable centers include Benson, Pelican, and Pleasant Hill, the latter showing a concentrated grid of streets alongside a CCC Camp. The map is particularly rich in rural institutional history, documenting dozens of neighborhood landmarks such as the Spring Creek Community Center, Pine Spring Sch, and St Matthews Ch. The presence of an old logging railroad grade near Converse points to the region's industrial heritage, while numerous family cemeteries like Guy Cem and Sebastian Cem offer valuable data for genealogical research.
